Health Do or Don't? Have an At-Home "Skinny" Mirror

We've all fallen victim to the mirrors in store dressing rooms that somehow magically shave a couple of pounds off your reflection. I don't know, I kind of expect that from store mirrors now. But would you ever want a mirror that skinnifies at home?

The Skinny Mirror is one such creation: produced with a curve in the glass, it offers a "slightly taller and slimmer reflection of you" and slenderizing your body by up to 10 pounds. According to the website: "The Skinny Mirror boosts confidence and improves self-image. Living in such an image-conscious culture, we are always struggling to live up to ideals, whether it be conscious or subconscious. The Skinny Mirror gives you extra confidence to take on the world." It retails for about $175 (you can customize the sustainably made mirror as well).

Belinda Jasmine says that her specially designed mirror can be a healthy, less expensive alternative to cosmetic surgeries and that studies have shown that our self-images impact everything from energy levels to feelings of competence, that looking good easily translates to feeling good.

Having confidence and a positive self-image are always positives—but what do you think: Should it come from a mirror that slightly distorts how you really look? Or a mirror at all, for that matter? Would you buy one?
